In overall standing, ZIP 90035, one of several in Los Angeles, California comes out in the top 6.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,129th) and the top 16% of California (279th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled obesity resides in the bottom 3.0% nationally, mental-health providers rests in the top 2.1% nationally, and pharmacy lies in the top 2.4% nationally. Dental providers sits in the top 2.9% nationally, outpatient settles in the top 3.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 2.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 2.8% nationally. Homeownership is in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides in the top 4.3% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 90048, just across the boundary.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 0.77 years of 83.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match. How distance is measured
